Devils top Panthers as Zajac scores 3

TRAVIS Zajac scored the first of his career-best three goals after just 12 seconds as the New Jersey Devils held on for a 6-3 victory over the Florida Panthers on Monday after nearly blowing a three-goal lead.

Zajac opened the barrage against Dan Ellis and then netted his second midway through New Jersey’s three-goal first period. He completed his first NHL hat-trick at 9:37 of the third.

Jaromir Jagr had a goal and three assists, and Ryane Clowe added a goal and two assists. Zajac also had an assist for the Devils, who are hoping a rally can get them into the playoffs. New Jersey has seven games left.

Jacob Josefson scored the other Devils goal, and Cory Schneider stopped all 13 Florida shots he faced after replacing Martin Brodeur in the second period when New Jersey’s lead was cut to 4-3.

Dmitry Kulikov, Brad Boyes and Brandon Pirri scored for Florida.

The Anaheim Ducks staged the biggest comeback in team history as Stephane Robidas scored 16 seconds into overtime to compete a comeback from four goals down to beat the Winnipeg Jets 5-4.

Anaheim remained atop of the Pacific Division.

Ottawa’s Ales Hemsky scored the only goal of the shootout as the Senators edged the Carolina Hurricanes 2-1.
